Classes so far

Monday: TV History lecture/screening, an hour break, and then a small seminar discussion. The lecture outlined the course and we were shown an installment of the British 60s TV program Seven Up, which chronicled the lives of a select sample of children every seven years. Interesting stuff.

Today: Movie screening for Film History course. Given that it's titled "Film History: 1930- Present," I was hoping we'd be covering noir film or, say, Casablanca in short order, but instead we watched Scream. Yes, this Scream.


I'm not a horror film buff, though I do enjoy the genre for most part. It was quite entertaining and very 90s. Guess I'll learn about its relevance to the course tomorrow during the lecture portion of the class.
